PRP1 — Capsicum annuum

Summary

CaPRP1 (T459_23098) on pepper chromosome 9 encodes a glutathione S-transferase (GST) with glutathione transferase activity, belonging to the GST_C domain family. The gene is associated with glutathione metabolism, hormone metabolism, auxin signaling, calcium signaling, and chromatin modeling. It has been linked to defense response, immune response, cell death, homeostasis, and virus-induced PTGS. The encoded protein localizes to the cytoplasm. CaPRP1 is associated with chilling stress response, net photosynthetic rate, photosynthetic rate, and chlorophyll content. Studies of related genes in other species link the family to auxin-induced proteins and probable glutathione S-transferase activity (EC 2.5.1.18).
